The PowerPoints can be used as a computer activity as well. Duplicate each slide and type in the answer, resave as an activity. In Normal view, students click on the box and type in the answer or in Slideshow View they can use the pencil to draw the answer. The next slide will have the answer for them.

Great idea Jacqui. It really is quite simple but perhaps many haven't thought of using powerpoint or keynote in this way. 2 things that I like about it are that it is student centred (they know what they need to work on), and that it is easily tranferable to other students - you could have a folders set up on a public server according to levels, building the bank as time goes on. Love reading the blog - so practical. Cheers.

I will give it a try with numeral ID next week! It's always the simple things that work best. I think sometimes we get so caught up in the many, many complicated things going on that we can overlook the simple but effective tools that are sitting literally right in front of us. Thanks Jacqui!
